What is black limba veneer?

Black Limba veneer is a thin slice of real wood cut from Black Limba. It is used to bring the look of the species across a much larger surface than solid stock would allow, and it keeps more of each log in play for real projects. This stock traces back to its native range.

Quick facts

At a glance. West African korina (Terminalia superba), black-streaked grade. Light, stable, and easy to cut and glue. Straight grain with a coarse, even texture.

Appearance and figure

Working and finishing tips

Honest cautions. Test cuts, glue-up, and finish on an offcut first.

Best uses

Black limba is a favorite for electric guitar bodies and tops, but it also suits cabinet doors, drawer fronts, boxes, and any panel where the streaked figure can run the length of the piece.

Sustainability and sourcing

Using veneer makes each log go further by turning a small amount of real wood into much more usable surface area.
